This book unveils the largely untold experiences of Australian prisoners of war during conflicts of the 20th century. Drawn from interviews within the Australians at War Film Archive, it recounts the hardship endured by soldiers, sailors, airmen, nurses and children held captive by the Japanese, Germans, Italians, and Chinese.
Within the pages, discover stories of survival against the odds. Witness the strength of mateship, the vital role of inspirational leaders and medical staff, and the depths of cruelty faced. Some were captured after the sinking of HMAS Perth or were shot down over Europe, while others were civilians caught in the Japanese advance. They reveal how they lived through a world stripped bare, sustained by hope, discipline, and the will to survive.
